Rescale? Nice. That makes me wonder how other 65t or lower designs will actually scale down.

My only sad is noticing it didn't get any energy quirks like the -C2/-C4, because ASRM6x4 + 4 MPL actually sounds like a nice stock-plus option here. It's a rare bird, being a complete 3025-tech model.

Presumably because if it had the same level of quirks as the C2/4, it would immediately and instantly obsolete both, as it's fundamentally the two combined.

really happy to see the response to this. Hope you guys enjoy the updated Cat once its released, it was really fun to work on

Dude, you did really awesome work here. Everyone involved, I can't say it enough - This is great. The Butterbee itself looks fantastic (that camo is great!) and the remodel and rescale? Wow. Awesome.

I just cannot wait to see the rest!

I'm really looking forward to this patch! Have been greatly anticipating the BB and I'm not disappointed

They are also adding command wheel and other stuff.

The guy you are quoting is not actually holding out until the game is improved. He's just puffing his chest because he thinks he's so important that PGI will ben their schedule to his personal will.

Obviously, a massive rescale, adding comes bases to assault mode, command wheel, bug fixes, etc. are improvements to the game. I suspect diaper rash as the source of irritation.

There's always that guy. Always. I swear to god, PGI could give us free mechs, and people would still *****.

Oh, wait, PGI did do that. And they did *****, a lot. *sighs*

Well, anyways, yeah. There's always that guy.

It seems the Cata will be a little bit smaller in the future ?

And the additional + 113 points of structure is just fine for this Heavy !
Great...

[Simbacca]

I thought the reason for originally having Jester as the Hero mech was to prevent the C2 and C4 Catapults from being made obsolete...

[Thorn Hallis]

I think I'll give my Boom- and Thundercat another ride after the patch.

[DangerousOne]

Really guys? This amount of rescaling for this mech is just ridiculous. Now it looks like the fracking size of 40 tonner or something like that. If rescaling of all other mehcs are took the same weird forms it will be disaster. I wonder what kind of psychodelic brain stimulators 3d-modellers and game designers are using?

[Pelanistra]

Yay yet another IS hero mech since there aren't enough. And even tougher to kill.

It does look fantastic though!

I am also hopeful that this means the Awesome gets its true right arm back as well.

Yes i hope so too. "THE" IS ppc mech deserve some help as well.

It's a canon custom 'mech name: The personal ride of MechWarrior Jenny Templeton, this variant of the Catapult replaces the standard arm-mounted LRM-15s with a quartet of SRM-6 missile launchers, two in each arm. The name is a reference to a kind of python, I think.

That was new to me, thank you for the info. I had always the picture of an insect in my mind....

sorry for the double post.

I only wonder if the Jester and K2 are going to be bigger than the Missle Cats, as they don't use up the "volume/tonnage" from the LRM launchers.

[Wrathful Scythe]

No VCRs? No VCRs!!!!

Just went from a 7 to a 10.

[The Basilisk]

I wonder if my Founders 'Pult is still in Hangar or already rusted away...time to do some dustoff to the old mechs.

[Kotev]

It looks amazing. Now we wait for clan mechs to get some love cos they need it badly.

[Naryck]

lol, the difference before and after rescale is like toy cars in burnout paradise:

It will be interesting to see if Clan mechs see more quirk love as well.

I am curious to see some Clan mech rescale at this point, like nova, maddog or the shadowcat... I do not expect great changes in size of TBW, Hellbringer or Ebon Jaguar. I am also curious to see what are the changes for light mechs.

You know right? Isn't it a bit frack uped stuff?

[ChapeL]

The Catapult rescale is the most dramatic change we'll see. (It was much too big) Said so themselves in the original post. Don't expect everything else to be that different .

The new Nova is also very small. (they showed some pictures a while ago)

If they are using an automated process, I suppose every mech will change in some way.

Yup. I'm with you. First this mech was to big and now it's ridiculously small. From one extreme to the other.
